1.) Virus scanners never find anything!

Many users complain that the PC is mainly used by the virus scanner. Whether the Defender is disabled you can see in the latest Windows 10 version also in the taskbar! Click on the Defender Shield icon to go directly to Defender Settings. If necessary, re-enable or disable the defender. Also with Kasperski, or Avira are usually the security settings over the To-Tray symbol.

Many users ask me if you are working with the quad-directory explorer disable the virus protection, that's no problem. When you download and install programs, they should be enabled, but when copying data to disk, it can have a very negative impact on the management of files and folders. Because it is always assumed that there is a malicious software.

2.) The cyber criminals spare no effort!

 
Cybercriminals go to great lengths to access sensitive files on your computer. However, this is almost impossible in offline mode on Windows 10. But as soon as you go online or exchange files and programs, be it via the Internet or external storage media such as USB sticks or various underground CDs and DVDs, you should protect yourself from malware. Currently, only around 80 percent of mobile malware threats are detected by virus scanners.

Compared to malware threats on mobile devices, protection on Windows 10 is far better. The number of malware on smartphones and iPhones is increasing rapidly, as is on mobile networks. Every year, the threat of malware on these devices and mobile networks continues to increase. It is therefore essential to protect yourself effectively on these platforms.

3.) Am I on the safe side with the virus scanner when it comes to cyber criminals?

A virus scanner is an important part of security measures, but it alone does not provide absolute security against cybercrime. A good virus scanner can detect and block many known threats, but cybercriminals are constantly developing new methods to bypass security measures. Therefore, it is important to follow other security practices in addition to a virus scanner, such as regular software updates, using strong passwords, activating firewalls, and training in dealing with suspicious emails and websites.


Additionally, you should keep in mind that a virus scanner cannot detect all types of threats, especially newer or unknown variants of malware. Therefore, it is advisable to combine different security tools and develop a comprehensive security strategy to minimize the risk of cyberattacks.
